Shalom to everyone in Denver at the annual Sports Lawyers Association conference. It has been a few years since I attended the event, which is a great gathering of professionals and students interested in practicing Sports Law. Unfortunately, I’m not in attendance this year, but Heitner Legal does have some representation there in Jillian Postal, […]
This week, I celebrated two years of being in a relationship with the woman I currently consider my fiancee, who will ultimately become my wife in December. Unfortunately for her, the anniversary fell on the second day of a trial I was litigating, so the festivities have been suspended for this weekend. The NBA Playoffs […]
After a bunch of travel, it was a week in Fort Lauderdale. But a very busy one. And the weekend won’t be relaxing either, with a trial beginning Monday morning. But Happy Cinco de Mayo! And happy Kentucky Derby weekend! This week on Forbes: (1) 2017 NFL Draft: 1st Round By The Numbers; (2) This Week In […]
The first round of the 2017 NFL Draft is behind us, and now comes the real fun? Two more days of non-stop NFL Draft talk with Mel Kiper, Jon Gruden and the rest of your favorites calling the shots. I wish every agent who reads this blog the absolute best as your clients get picked […]
April is a big month of traveling, with stops in New York, Boston and Washington D.C., two of the cities currently having teams in the NBA Playoffs, with Boston hardly counting among them based on their play to date. A trip to Milan could be coming in early May, but that may be derailed by […]
What a wild season of highs and lows for the Miami Heat. The team showed signs of promise in the preseason only to flaunt the worst record in the NBA at the start of the regular season. Then, the team got healthy and gave South Florida (including yours truly) a bunch of hope before losing […]
Hello my friends, and welcome to another edition of the weekly wrap-up. This week’s version comes to you from Philadelphia, where I will be speaking on a panel concerning esports at an amazing event put on by Andrew Brandt and Villanova Law: 2017 Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal Symposium. It is also Masters week, which […]
It’s been a couple of weeks of non-stop travel, between Austin, Las Vegas and New York. Hopefully, I get to stay around home-base for the next few weeks before heading back to New York for some more Heitner Legal-related work. Amazing game-winner against Wisconsin followed by a heartbreaking loss to South Carolina for my Florida […]
Miraculously, I came back from Las Vegas a winner, and actually made a decent amount of money between betting on college basketball games (a lot of money won on the Gators) as well as poker. Was about even in blackjack. Today, I’m in Gainesville, where it is currently illegal to place bets on sporting events, […]
Here’s a special St. Patrick’s Day, Darren in Las Vegas edition of the weekly wrap-up. I’m in Vegas for what has been an annual tradition for so many years that I have lost count. Sin City is the destination of choice for the first couple rounds of the NCAA Tournament, and there is a lot […]
